CSIRO climate scientists earmarked for redundancy to finally learn their fate

Staff given two weeks to explain why their jobs should be saved, followed by a two-month process in which management tries to find them another role

Climate scientists at the CSIRO who are earmarked for redundancy will learn their fate this week.

Staff in the organisation's oceans and atmosphere business unit began being told of their "potential" redundancies on Tuesday, and the process was expected to continue until Thursday. Last week a similar process occurred for scientists in the land and water business unit.
